Christmas day meat
Anyone thought about this yet?
The only reason I have is I've just been given half a Loaghtan lamb (it's a Manx breed)
So the leg is going to be on the table this year.

Re: Christmas day meat
I've thought about it. Been invited to the in-laws so as long as it comes with a case of beer and a nice red it'll be fine.

Re: Christmas day meat
Turkey crown for us again with three layers of bacon on top, less waste and doesn't take up the whole oven.

I wouldn't have minded if it was the top half, the bottom half, it's arse or it's head to be honest. Freebies are always nice. (price of bloody meat nowadays)

Re: Christmas day meat
My missus cant eat Turkey so we will be having the usual rib of beef, purchased from the local farm butchery.
Along with a Ham bought from the supermarket.
Not forgetting the 100 odd pigs in blankets I usually make

Re: Christmas day meat
Dont overcook it. Do you have a meat thermometer ? 60° is about right for a nice pink medium roast.Tricky Tree wrote:We are away at Christmas so have a family weekend away next weekend and will have a Xmas meal of sorts. Doing rib of beef this year.

Re: Christmas day meat
A massive turkey here - lucky to get a free one from work - and it is massive - any weight upwards of 25lb.
Keeps us going for a while - hard to keep it anything approaching moist - but it tends to find itself into any number of curries etc.
Sausage meat stuffing too - mmmmm.

Re: Christmas day meat
I've never really like the whole Rosemary / Lamb thing. I think it overpowers the meat. Then again, Loughtan is quite gamey so I might try it with the other leg (shoulder)WilBert wrote:Plenty of festive roseMary to flavour it I hope?sted wrote:Anyone thought about this yet?

Re: Christmas day meat
As far as I know it is a Southern US thing but if any of you have never deep fried a turkey I assure you it will change your life. Had my first 7 years ago and every turkey since then has been a complete let down. They are usually injected with some sort of Cajun marinade and fried in a giant pot of peanut oil. Added bonus is that cooking time is less than an hour in most cases and it is a good excuse to get outside and way from the in laws

That sounds pretty good to me but cooking outside on Christmas Day in the UK won't be very pleasant.

Got to be a whole turkey so that you can stuff it. Stuffing is one of my favourite Christmas things.

Re: Christmas day meat
Will cook a turkey crown and a leg of lamb. May do a honey glazed gammon as well (tho a small piece) just for a bit of variety.
